Defending - by Moses

When a person has their back up against the wall, a natural reaction to many is to lend expertise. Does this preclude the element of choice? To a person that feels compelled to help?
A person, by nature, will try and help. This help is often misconstrued and defined as 'Witch Doctor'. In reality most people will freely admit that there is no 'Witch Doctor', rather a propensity to gather composure and relate from one to another. To be imprecise is innate, in other words precision is arbitrary. This stigma often leads people to move away from those that are lending so called expertise. Doing what a person believes, right from wrong, makes for a strong foundation of a persons' disposition. It does not however, benefit within the highest realm of stringency (an ultimate G-d fearing decision).
Being set on trial, 24/7 365 days a year, will lead to mental health breakdown and is not the purpose of mentoring (lending a hand). Going with the ball doesn't always work, as there is no ultimate certainty, and this is an issue many have not come to terms with. There must certainly be an end, as surely as there was a beginning. Without this variance of concept, many of us wouldn't have the ability to operate and function at their optimum level.
To some coffee is therapeutic, to others tea is a better alternative, and the administration of each has a calming effect through the idealism of Freedom of Choice. I don't know about you but 20 coffees a day will wear me down a helleva lot faster than 20 teas. An expression is sometimes the best remedy. 'More or less' is just that.
The person that is being helped often feels compelled to walk away from such help as they feel that it's a sign of weakness and poor health. 'No Man is an Island' describes the paradigm relationship of never wanting to accept help.' 'I'm a man, so I won't ask for directions.' 'I'm a man, so I won't cry.'
There was a story of a real life 'Rocky', who won two World Boxing Championships in his fighting career. Adored by many, he had a breakdown, years after his career ended. He spent 15 years panhandling to feed addiction issues. Rocky's family rescued him from the streets just last year. Am I wrong to try and lend my expertise?
Rocky's two sons truly adore their father. Rocky's brother and a close friend were at an addiction intervention to try and help Rocky commit himself, to better his health. Rocky found it so unbearable to cry that it was counter-productive to his health. His healing began through his friendships towards his sons, brother, and a close friend.
Multi-culturalism often helps when we see these instances as it makes a person feel that they're not alone.
